The best time to get a bicycle tune-up is typically once a year or every 500 miles, whichever comes first. It is also recommended to get a tune-up before a long ride or before the start of the cycling season.
The best time of year to get a bicycle tune-up is typically in the off-season or January, before the start of the cycling season. This will ensure that your bike is in top condition for the upcoming season and have the best talent is working on the bike.
What this expected when taken in for service (Some Examples):
Labor:
Tune-up $100-$150
Chain install $15-$20
Tires install $15-$20
Bar Tape Wrap $20
Wheel install Rear $25-$30
Cables and Housing install $35-$55
Pedals $20-$50
Parts:
Rear Wheel $100-$150
Rim Tape $5
Chain $15-$25
Tires $50- $100
Bar Tape $15-$25
Cables and Housing $15-$25
Pedals install $15-$20
The range can vary from shop to shop based on tune-up packages and parts. But the range on this bike would be $400 for the base prices and $700 for higher-level labor and parts. And that is on top of what you paid for buying it used.

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”
